Dang, I've got a whole shopping list of Criterion titles I'd love to see released. Amazing that "The Wages of Fear" is in the first batch though! Saves me from tracking down that elusive DVD copy I've been scavenging for. This is a wonderful start for some true classics I've still got their original Laserdisc copies of. "For All Mankind" was a one of a kind release in its day, as were so many of their releases.
Now, if they would just reissue their versions of "Robocop", "Brazil" and "This is Spinal Tap" my life would be complete...
(Oh, and I second the motion for "Time Bandits" and throw in "Monty Python & the Holy Grail" as long as we're asking!!!)
Unfrotunately, Criterion can't re-issue, Silence of the Lambs, Robocop and This is Spinal Tap. MGM took full control of the titles, so Criterion's distribtuion rights are gone.
